    What do you mean traditional car companies not taking EVERYTHING IS seriously? Volzwagen is switching all their cars to electric.

    I doubt they're trying to prop up a single tech journalist. If I had to speculate on intelligence agency motivations I'd speculate that they're trying to attack SuperMicro.

    Yes. Software engineers taking ethics seriously and not letting technical enthusiasm blind them is news, not normality.

    That's a poorly phrased warrant canary. Aren't warrant canaries intended to be for FISA-type warrants?

    Mom & Pop, by definition, refers to the ownership of the medium. Not how many people work on it.
